This was pretty good. I used more pumpkin and water, so left out the milk. I also used pumpkin pie spice instead of nutmeg, and skipped the almonds. Overall this was a tasty and healthy breakfast. Thanks for the recipe.

Delish. I didn't have stevia do I just sprinkled with sugar, and didn't have any protein powder. I will certainly make again. Made for zarr star tag.

Delicious and healthy! I didn't use the almonds because I didn't have any, but still tasted great. This is a great way to give plain old oatmeal a boost in flavor. I used Splenda....so it probably wasn't as 'clean' but I don't even know what Stevia is!

I really liked the oatmeal itself, but didn't care for the protein powder/water topping. Tasted like canned milk. I will make this again, as it is a good way to use leftover pumpkin, but I will maybe stir the protein powder into the oatmeal and use low-fat milk on top. I will also double the amounts, as suggested, as 1 serving was pretty small (for me!) :)

Good oatmeal variation for the health conscious. I think I would double the recipe for a single serving next time. Thank you for posting! ~Potluck Tag~
